British Army uses Python

Which replaced Giant Viper (my era)

I don’t know whether I should be, but I am suprised there are so many Pumas in active service. Thought Namera had replaced them.

They’re starting to appear on other vehicles. Especially check the pics Frenchy posted recently. I’d guess they began equpping the Merks first then moved onto other vehicles.

For those who have a Merkava Mk 4 kit and a 3D printer…

What about the masses of M113 still in use? I thought the same, but they are everywhere.

No 3D printer, but how 'bout someone volunteer to make a few for sale here on this site???!!

Anyone has a way to replicate the Antenna mounts on the M-113 Nagmash APCs?

Desert Eagle had a big set of IDF aerial bases. I used it on my Merkava 2B.

Nice hi-res view…

What is this grill on the rear of the Namera? i’ve seen some modellers ‘soot’ this up as if it was like an APU exhaust or something, but most pictures appear to show it clean.

[Frenchy]

Don’t know what it is but sometimes it leaks…

It looks like APU, maybe combined with air conditioning unit.

[Khouli]

It looks like the grill is an intake, not an exhaust.

[Khouli]

Could either be hydraulic oil (cooling fans) or water (condensation from the aircon).
